Being nit-picky, there's no such thing as a Nobel Prize for economics.

It's weird that urgent care clinics aren't parked right next to the ER and that the urgent care clinics aren't 24x7. No doubt this occurs sometimes but I've never seen it. Anecdata. My wife says that most people at the…
Personally, I think that voting is ridiculous, but I see the point. It's one of the strongest methodologies for making a discussion board addictive. I think an interesting feature to add would be to have peoples' user…
The amount of gray posts in censorship threads always cracks me up. Please go on.
It could be that part of the problem is that you only see their public persona. Start adding all the weasel words to imply that you think that something is 73% likely to be mostly true and you lose an audience Everyone…
> Antitrust is pretty much dead from what I can tell It has just been defined to mean 'thing that harms consumer prices'.
I don't doubt that part of the pronunciation problem is the deeper meanings that creep in. 'CAESAR' sounds positively German and Legio VI Victrix has an effeminate sound. I'm afraid that Biggus Dickus had at least a…
I like the idea of building massive apartment complexes in the Bay Area. It was a PITA place to live 30 years ago and it's worse now The thing is, if we can build giant ant mounds in just a few places it'll save the…

Downvoted and I still don't know what the '+' is. Some sort of gender or kink letter? Code for a cyborg? Programming language?
Maybe we don't need contraception, we just need predators.
Offhand I'd say that you are doubling the plumbing system plus you are using a much more corrosive fluid. It would be an interesting experiment, since toilets use a great deal of water. Take a beach town, build a…
In that case, the value of a thing is not it's physical reality but it's provenance. I guess it's no different than the high value given to a lot of 20th C. art, it's just another form of marketing. Maybe this bodes…
It seems to me that any system predicated on population levels over the pre-industrial standard are a sketchy proposition. Even at the pre-industrial level, the environmental load has been high. Mediterranean goat…
I'd say that the main value of an over-complex tax code is to provide a moat for larger companies.
